Ninety, now Mikey, described by his adopters as "a great galumping idiot, who believes that no activity isn’t enhanced without his snoot in it, no person can pass without paying a pat tax, no open door should not be investigated, and you can never have enough fluffies" which to us sounds like the definition of perfect! Wishing much joy to Mikey and his new family.

It's National Dog Day, a day to celebrate all the things we love about our dogs! If you have an Erin hound, or indeed any sighthound, you'll know that there are a LOT of things to love about them. Share pics of your hound below and tell us some of their special qualities. We'll start with Swilly, who is a very sweet girl with a lot of love to give.

Trilby https://erinhounds.co.uk/?page_id=12788 is learning all about life as a pet in his foster home. He's slowly gaining confidence, loves his walks and sleeps through the night. He can still be reticent meeting new people and hasn't got used to the TV yet! He's great with the resident dog. We're looking for a home for him with another dog for confidence, and people who can let him take things at his own pace.
